Crackers or She Lived or Us

She Lived

She Lived.That was easy, I so enjoyed your comments and thoughts about naming your paintings. And I was so tempted to call this one "Crackers" after Kristin Dudish's comment that made me laugh. But I thought instead to just call it "She Lived".

OK, I have to confess to you that I am totally knocked over with Peter Metchev, a Bulgarian artist that I have just discovered. I can't stop looking at his creations. Click here for the google images. I just love the way he "couples" faces and I just had to try it. I haven't felt this way since discovering Gustav Klimt.

I just showed She Lived to dear husband and told him it was a self portrait of us. Of course, all I get is a puzzled raised eyebrow...much like the one I have painted on him. And I look just like that too. So, maybe I should just call it "Us".♥

Wonderful Sharon! I'm really enjoying your collage faces online class. It's been slow for me because I'm so busy but am anxious to get back to it. I always learn so much from you so thank you for the constant inspiration.xxoo Renee

Of course this work of yours just suits my fancy, all the curves and color it is so exciting. thanks for the info to go look, I wanat to try I feel nonready.So good to see all this work of yours to hear the spirt, see the spirit, nothing like a charged artist.

Sharon,that little dramatic pause you recently had was your preparation for metamorphasis!I have loved your faces, but Oh MY!How you have transformed to a new level is inspiring.Love Love Love how your personality and hours of painting shine through so beautifully in your new works. xo

About Me

Me Myself and I

I love using my hands to do anything. I get lost creating. Painting faces, collage, mixed media, and altered books are my passions.

Digging in the dirt feeds my soul. Flowers are one of God's greatest creations.

I'm shy although one might not know it. I have too many opinions and can't keep them to myself.

AND THEN........

Every now and then, I just need to touch cloth. I use unwanted clothing, cast offs, remnants, unfinished works-in-progress, cloth napkins, table cloths, curtains, and my stash which is pretty extensive.

And then, I sit and stitch. And stitch. Because stitching calms and relaxes me. It quiets the chatter in my head and keeps me upright in the chair zone in the evenings. And that is The Cloth Side Of Me.
